Healthy chicken recipes

This is one of my absolute favourite dinners to make on weeknights – so simple, so easy (it literally takes 10 minutes to cook and serve!) and so tasty. I’m obsessed with the tamari-mustard dressing I created for this too, it really completes the dish. You can use turkey or beef mince too, even some sautéd tofu would work in this recipe!

Ingredients

Serves: 2

  • 1 tsp coconut or olive oil, for frying
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 red onion, finely diced
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 150g organic chicken mince
  • 1 tbsp tamari sauce
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 head of iceberg lettuce
  • 1/2 avocado, smashed
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • Extra sesame seeds, chopped spring onion and parsley, to garnish

Tamari-Mustard Dressing:

  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 tbsp tamari sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp spring onions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup water

 

Method

  1. Heat coconut oil in a large non-stick frying pan.
  2. Add the minced garlic cloves and sauté until golden.
  3. Add the chopped red onion and a tsp of salt, sauté until golden.
  4. Add the chicken mince, tamari and olive oil and sauté until brown and well-cooked. Set aside.
  5. Prepare lettuce cups by chopping off the stem of the lettuce and carefully pulling each lettuce leaf/cup away from the head of lettuce. Set aside and repeat until you have 5-6 lettuce cups.
  6. In another small bowl, smash the avocado and add 1 tbsp sesame seeds. Set aside.
  7. To make the dressing, add the mustard, tamari, sesame oil, spring onions and water to a small bowl and whisk until combined.
  8. To serve, add 2 heaped tbsp of the cooked chicken mince to each lettuce cup and top with dressing, spring onion, smashed avocado and parsley.
